EXPO: a quantum leap in fast, wide-band X-ray polarimetry for astrophysics
Paolo Soffitta, Sebastien Guillot, Ian Hutchinson +137
The Enhanced X-ray Polarimetry Observatory (EXPO) is a mission concept proposed to ESA as an M8 candidate, with a prospective launch in 2041. Building on the scientific success of…
A Focal-plane X-ray Polarimeter with Spectral and Timing Capabilities for Future Missions
Hemanth Manikantan, Carlo Lefevre, Lorenzo Petrucci +16
The NASA-ASI mission Imaging X-ray Polarimeter Explorer (IXPE) firmly established X-ray polarimetry as a core observation pillar of high-energy astrophysics, alongside imaging, tim…
Instruments for Focal Plane X-Ray Polarimetry in the Next Decade
Fabio Muleri, Stefano Cesare, Enrico Costa +18
The successful detection of X-ray polarization from many celestial sources belonging to different classes by the IXPE mission has opened a new window in X-ray astronomy. While an i…
The legacy of the IXPE instrument and prospects for the next generation of polarimetric photoelectric X-ray detectors
Hemanth Manikantan, Vladislavs Plesanovs, Paolo Soffitta +15
Imaging X-ray polarimetry with IXPE has demonstrated the scientific potential of the technique but also revealed the need for significant detector upgrades, particularly with the r…
The Telescope Calibration of the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer
Brian Ramsey, Jeffery Kolodziejczak, Wayne Baumgartner +27
Fifty years after the very first sounding rocket measurement of cosmic X-ray polarization, the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) mission has effectively opened a new window…
Towards imaging-spectro-polarimetry of solar flares in the X-rays
Sergio Fabiani, John Rankin, Stefano Basso +19
X-ray polarimetry of solar flares is still a not well established field of observation of our star. Past polarimeters were not able to measure with a high significance the polariza…
